Justin Prentice plays one of the most hated characters on television: Bryce Walker on 13 Reasons Why.
You all remember what he did in season one, but by the end of the series, there were no consequences for him.
However, the actor opened up to Vulkan magazine and agrees with all the fans that Bryce needs to pay.
“I want justice. Bryce needs to be taken down,” he says.
“Bryce doesn’t see himself as a rapist,” Justin adds, opening up about who is character really is. “He assumes he can take whatever he wants, because he is Bryce Walker: star athlete, leader, kingpin.
“This is terrifying because Bryce could be anyone. We all know Bryces.”
He continued: “This isn’t a select few people, this is becoming more and more of an epidemic, because these boys in school lack the education on sexual consent. We need to start talking about this stuff.”
AMEN.
